Winning option:Yes On Friday, Ms. Yousafzai became the youngest winner of the Nobel Peace Prize — grouped in the same pantheon as the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Mother Teresa, and yet still a student at Edgbaston High School for Girls, where she was summoned out of her chemistry class to hear the news.

Background

Pakistani teenage education advocate, Malala Yousafzai, has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize a second time, lawmakers in Norway confirmed.

Labour Party legislators Freddy de Ruiter and Magne Rommetveit, who nominated the 16-year-old, said she deserves the Nobel "for her brave support for girls' right to education.

"Her involvement was so threatening to extremist forces that they tried to kill her," they said in a statement quoted by news agency NTB, referring to the 2012 attack on her.

Yousafzai was shot in the head by the Taliban in 2012, as she was returning from school.

She was flown to Britain for treatment and has been living there due to threats.

I'd say, Yes, she was awarded the the Nobel Peace Prize, so, this answers settles yes.

I have suspended this on today's news.

However I have not settled it as she has shared the prize which was not an eventuality allowed for in the answers.

I suggest that voiding the question would be appropriate here but will leave this to the judge and jury.
